Which of the models predict that galaxies should be getting farther apart now?

The expanding universe model predicts that galaxies should be getting farther apart now. This is based on the observation that the universe is expanding, with galaxies moving away from each other at increasing speeds.


What does the universe expanding mean?

The distance between galaxies is increasing, pretty much in all directions. This suggests that space itself is expanding. We also now know the rate of expansion is in fact increasing.


Will the universe ever begin to contract?

It doesn't seem so. There is evidence that the expansion is accelerating (the Universe is expanding faster than in the past). The reason for this is still somewhat of a mystery; do an Internet search on "dark energy" for more details.


What shows the galaxies expanding?

Yes ...why.. well there is a theory that once the universe was as small as a match's red head? i don't know what it's called what ever...so when that bead explodes and it expands. and scientists believe that it keeps expanding. Another question you should ask your self is if that the universe was that small what was around it? answer it cause i wanna know and hope this helps!


Which possibility is more likely The Big Crunch or Eternal Universe?

I am not quite sure there is anything officially called "Eternal Universe" by astronomers. If you mean that it continues expanding eternally, this currently seems to be the most likely scenario, since the Universe is not only expanding, but the expansion is speeding up (it expands faster now than in the past), and there is no particular reason to believe that the expansion will slow down.

Can the continued expansion of black holes lead to the end of the universe?

Expanding black holes don't mean the end of the universe. It is true that we don't know enough about the universe to be able to see an "end" in sight. But right now the universe is expanding, and the immense gravity of even black holes (and other matter) doesn't seem to be slowing it up at all.


What does the red shift tell us about the changing universe?

Mainly that the Universe is expanding. Analyzing far-away galaxies, it has recently become clear that the expansion is accelerating - the Universe is now expanding faster than a few billion years ago.


Is the universe imploding or explording?

What i think is that its doing both at the same time. You see the universe is constantly imploding and exploding in many ways. Stars explode yet the particles of the explosion implode and help form other stars. Now we can take this information and think of it in many ways. Is the universe constantly expanding to the point in which it will become to much for itself and eventually implode and then explode into what we call the universe today. Even steven hawking said that "The universe is ever expanding and what he theorizes is that eventually the universe will grow so much it will implode or continue expanding. but as we see with the stars we constantly imploding and exploding we could only assume the same of the universe


How did the size of the universe change?

In the immediate aftermath of the "Big Bang" there was rapid inflation of the universe. That slowed and the universe is now believed to be still, slowly, expanding.

How long is space and how wide?

no one is quite sure where the universe begins or ends but what they do know is that the universe is continuously expanding. they also believe that one day probably a trillion years from now that it will stop expanding and shrink and then we will have another big bang.


How do you hack into lego universe?

Right now you can't.


Cosmologists expect the universe to?

They expect the Universe to continue expanding. Right now, the evidence is that the expansion is speeding up. They also expect entropy to continue increasing, so in the distant future, there will not be any free energy left to support life, for example. They also expect quite a few other things; the Wikipedia article on the "future of the Universe" can give you some ideas.


When is dc universe coming out?
